[s-cars] Violent front end shimmy on cornering

[Sean Douglas]

Randy:

I doubt it is the wheel bearing, a failed wheel bearing makes a metallic
sound, grinding, squealing, groaning would be words to describe this.

Front end shimmy is related to suspension movement. I would check the lower
control arms, subframe mounts or sway bar bushings.
